I liked the discussion about bullet placement and 280ACKLEY got me really thinking in his last post on that thread.
He basically said that even though lost or wounded game is a fact or the truth when hunting 99% of these could be avoided, and I have to agree!
I think that we all could benefit from each others experience on how to avoid wounded or lost game! Bullet placement is done like dinner and we all know the reality of that... so what else can we do to try and eliminate any lost or wounded animals?
I suppose the one recurring theme that came out of the bullet placement thread was to keep shooting until your game is down. When I am deer hunting and a shot presents itself I try to prepare for what is going to happen after the first shot. Where is it gonna run if it runs... where the closest cover is... be prepared to work the bolt and lead the game if it is necessary, that kind of thing.
I am interested in any advice that can stack the odds in favor of a successful kill.
